African migrant couple charged with child slavery and child rapeA
14-year-old girl traveled to the United States from her native Cameroon in 1996
to live with a couple in hopes of education and a better life, but prosecutors
say the girl's trip to Michigan turned into a nightmare. There was no school
and no opportunity, only years of involuntary servitude, occasional beatings and
even sexual assault, they said. The couple accused of mistreating the girl,
Joseph
and Evelyn Djoumessi, were to go on trial in Oakland County Circuit Court
on felony charges. Jury selection was set to begin Friday. Joseph Djoumessi, 44,
is charged with kidnapping, conspiracy to kidnap, two counts of first-degree criminal
sexual conduct, third-degree criminal sexual conduct and child abuse. His wife,
36, is charged with kidnapping and conspiracy to kidnap.

Senegal's
Wade Says Slavery Reparations 'Absurd'DAKAR (Reuters) - Senegal's
President Abdoulaye Wade on Saturday stepped into a diplomatic row ahead of a
United Nations conference on racism, saying the idea of reparations for the African
slave trade was absurd. He noted there were African peoples who had sold slaves.
``Should they also pay up?'' he asked. ``Some of us have forbears who may not
have sold slaves, but had slaves in their armies. I am talking about my own ancestors,
who had 10,000 soldiers at that time, of which two thirds were slaves.'' (reader

a 'Black Cross' perhaps. Surely there's a movement to alleviate the suffering
of Mother Africa, whose history over the past two centuries is a sorrowful tale
of ruthless exploitation and devastation.

Truth About Black Slavery And The Confederate FlagSlavery in Perspective - by Joseph Sobran ...I've been reading Hugh

Schuster). It's one of those books that shift your whole perspective on the past...

All this puts something of a damper on the assumption that slavery was
a sin specific or "peculiar" to the American South. The slaves had been
Africans who were sold to European merchants by other Africans who had enslaved
them in the first place. Several of Africa's proudest empires were built on the
sale of slaves. For centuries Africa's chief export was human beings. When Congresswoman
Maxine Waters speaks of "my African ancestors' struggle for freedom,"
she doesn't know what she's talking about. Slavery was an African institution
long before it spread to the South, and there was no abolition movement to trouble
it. When Europe banned the slave trade, African economies reeled.

America's
Original Sin - by Linda ChavezIf it were possible to wipe out the
legacy of slavery by writing a big, fat check, I'd be all for it. Who wouldn't
be in favor of a simple solution to the problems that plague much of the African
American community in America today -- especially since all of us are affected,
not just blacks? Imagine, a one-time payment that would solve family breakdown,
poverty and homicide among young, black males. But there are no easy solutions,
and the payment of reparations to the descendants of slaves certainly isn't the
answer. It's just more of the same liberal cure-all: Let government redistribute
money from one group to try to solve the problems of another. (Teutonland

Africans
undermine reparations claim- by Jeff White - The National
Post A ship suspected of carrying child slaves is hunted along Africa's old slave
coast. A National Post correspondent discovers beaten children kept in servitude
on Ivory Coast's cocoa plantations. Slavery in Africa in 2001? This incongruous
turn of events clashes with carefully
laid plans by African bureaucrats to extract trillions from
the West in reparations for slavery. These demands, which will be raised at a
$21-million United Nations conference on racism late this summer in Durban,
South Africa, hang upon the proposition that "slavery constituted a white
attack upon blacks". Africa's misery only ended, by this theory, when
Britain and the United States abolished the slave trade in 1807. (Reader

country ever went to war with itself to free slaves of an alien race. None in
Africa ever will..."

"Reparations for slavery?"
The more I think about it, the more I believe it might not be such a bad idea.

You see, back in the middle 1870s, my paternal grandfather (note: there's
not even one "great" in front of that word) was brought to this country
as an "indentured servant" to work in the lead mines of Colorado. He
was called an indentured servant for two reasons: 1) at that time, slavery had
only recently been abolished in the United States, and 2) his face was white.
Nevertheless, he was sold into bondage.

Some members of the family say
it was by his own hand. Others of us doubt that the signature of a 16-year-old
boy would have been taken as legally binding and that it was done by a member
or members of his own family. This was a practice that was still not all that
uncommon back in those days, in Europe as well as Africa.

Be that as it
may, you can bet your life that when the government starts handing our reparations
for slavery, I'm going to be standing in the line with my hand out.

African
Slave Trade: UNICEF estimates that 200,000 boys and girls are sold into servitude
in Africa every year. The children often come from very poor rural areas in Benin
and Togo. The girls, as young as 8, cook and clean for wealthy families in prosperous
areas of Nigeria and Ivory Coast. The boys are sent to work on farms or in industry
in relatively rich countries like Gabon that have labor shortages. Many teenagers,
male and female, end up in prostitution in Europe.
